By doing this type of analysis with more and more genes (e.g., adding in genes D, E, and F and figuring out their relationships to A, B, and C) we can build up linkage maps of entire chromosomes. In linkage maps, you may see distances expressed as centimorgans or map units rather than recombination frequencies.
A genetic map shows the map distance, in cM, that separates any two loci, and the position of these loci relative to all other mapped loci. The genetic map distance is roughly proportional to the physical distance, i.e., the amount of DNA between two loci.
Gene mapping or genome mapping describes the methods used to identify the location of a gene on a chromosome and the distances between genes. Gene mapping can also describe the distances between different sites within a gene. The essence of all genome mapping is to place a collection of molecular markers onto their respective positions on the ...
23 sty 2015 · Our objective is to present new, flexible and robust distance measures for estimating genetic distances from single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) data. We focus on the estimation of distances between individuals (or organisms), even though the application of distances could certainly be useful in many other circumstances.

Remember that in linkage analysis a map distance is calculated from the frequency at which crossovers occur between two markers. STS mapping is essentially the same, except that each map distance is based on the frequency at which breaks occur between two markers.
Step 1: Calculate the recombination frequency: Recombination Frequency (RF) = Number of recombinant offspring / Total number of offspring. RF = 150 / 1000 = 0.15. Step 2: Convert recombination frequency to map distance: Map Distance (cM) = RF × 100. Map Distance = 0.15 × 100 = 15 cM. Thus, the map distance between Gene A and Gene B is 15 ...
